Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account

Most ISPs (Internet service providers) assign a dynamic IP address to the router and
you can use this IP address to access your router remotely. However, the IP address
can change any time and you don't know when it changes. In this case, you might need
the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) feature on the router to allow you and your
friends to access your router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using domain name, in
no need of checking and remembering the IP address.
Note: DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the
modem router.
To set up DDNS, please follow the instructions below:
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the username (admin) and password
(admin or the one customized by you).
2. Go to Advanced
3. Select the DDNS Service
need to register an account on the provider's official website first.

as lisa.ddns.net).
5. Click Save.
